Sharonville-based startup Enable Injections Inc., which develops and makes wearable devices that allow a user to administer injectable drugs, has a new partner – the company Flextronics International Ltd., which will help scale up manufacturing.

Michael Hooven, CEO of Enable Injections, holds a new medical device that will allow patients to administer treatment at home.

Financial terms of the partnership were not released.

San Jose, California-based Flextronic, also known as Flex, is a publicly traded electronics manufacturer with more than 150,000 workers in 30 countries.

“Flex is the recognized leader in high volume manufacturing of body-worn injection systems,” said Michael Hooven, Enable’s president and CEO, in a news release. “We very much look forward to partnering with Flex to satisfy pharmaceutical and biotech company requirements for high reliability, high volume manufacturing.”

Enable Injection’s devices can deliver up to 50-milliliter doses of medicine and monitor use through Bluetooth connectivity. Enable Injections was founded six years ago by medical-device industry veterans, including Hooven, who started Mason-based surgical device maker AtriCure.
